Representatives for thousands of car workers at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) today (Tuesday 5 April) wrote to Cyrus Mistry, the chairman of the carmaker’s parent company, Tata Group demanding the conglomerate acts responsibly by selling Tata Steel UK as a whole entity and allowing time for a credible buyer to be found.
Expressing alarm over reports that the Tata Group is ‘going through the motions’ and was looking to ‘dispose’ of its UK steel operations in a matter of weeks, the Unite representatives warned Mr Mistry against a ‘fire sale’ of its UK steel business, saying it wasn’t the responsible thing to do.
The letter comes as leaders of Unite, Community and GMB meet with business secretary Sajid Javid this afternoon to demand government action to save our steel ahead of Mr Javid’s meeting with Mr Mistry in Mumbai tomorrow.
In their letter to Cyrus Mistry, Bob Nason Unite chair of JLR and Ken Smith convenor at JLR Halewood write: “As union reps representing members in Jaguar Land Rover, part of Tata, we are extremely concerned for our brothers and sisters working in the UK steel industry.
